Naturally when you think of orange juice, you think of Florida.
I’ve found a wonderful family run organic juice company in Florida, Uncle Matt’s Organic.
Matt McLean ventured into the organic juice business in 1999 with a passion for healthy living as well as a long family history of growing citrus in Florida.
Uncle Matt’s Organic produces the highest quality juice, using only premium 100% organically-grown fruit that is free from synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
Uncle Matt’s Organic is USDA Certified Organic.
I’ve had my share of orange juices (be it store bought, fruit stand purchased or by making my own) and I can tell you that Uncle Matt’s Organic Orange Juice is superb!
The right combination of both Valencia and Hamlin oranges make this juice perfect.
I got the pulp free orange juice since my daughter doesn’t like pulp (though I do, but I’ll sacrifice the pulp if that means she’ll drink it!)
The orange juice was sweet and not bitter like other juices I’ve had.
This was one of the smoothest sweetest most delightful orange juices I’ve drank.
If I didn’t know it was from a bottle, I’d think it was fresh squeezed…that’s how good it is!
One thing I did notice is once it’s on the shelves in the store it disappears quickly!
I went to multiple Publix stores and kept going until I got lucky yesterday and they were replenishing the stock.
I; however, will be a life time buyer of Uncle Matt’s now that I’ve tasted it and thoroughly enjoy it.
I can’t wait to try some of the other Uncle Matt’s Organic juices once I can grab them before everyone else clears off the refrigerator section shelf in the store!
They have a variety of products from organic lemonade, to organic grapefruit juice and of course organic orange juice as well as organic apple juice. When it’s season they also offer fresh fruit too. Yum!
They carry their juices in 59 ounce bottles but now have a new convenient travel size too–a 6 oz container!
If you’re searching for a convenient, totally natural healthy way to get your Vitamin C and fuel your body at the same time the 6 oz organic orange juice is the perfect thing.
It’s loaded with essential nutrients your body needs, and features the same fresh-squeezed flavor and nutritional quality you’ve come to love from Uncle Matt’s.
I wish I’d had that on prior trips where it’s been nearly impossible to enjoy quality juice while traveling due to size limitations on the little cooler I have for traveling. The 6 oz size would be ideal for lunchboxes, travel, be it locally to the park, daycation or traveling afar.
You can find a store near you that carries Uncle Matt’s Organic.
An added bonus for those eco-friendly types like myself (wishing more people would care)…the bottles for the juice are BPA Free.
Uncle Matt’s Organic cares not only about the health of their patrons but of the earth too!
They use PET #1 bottles which are the safest for food and juice because it doesn’t have BPA (Bisphenol A) in it which is a dangerous and harmful chemical.
Additionally, PET #1 bottles are the most recyclable form of plastic, unlike 3, 6 or 7’s.

Not only are Uncle Matt’s Organic products good for your body, but they’re also good for the planet.
Organic farming uses no synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. In fact, in order to be certified organic you must be free from these materials for a minimum of three years prior to your first harvest. Organic farming results in less damage to the environment and ecosystem. From the water we drink, to the soil we farm, to the air we breathe, less contamination means a safer planet for everyone. Uncle Matt’s Organic takes pride in protecting the next generation.
